1. – The U.S. Navy stages a "surge exercise" and moves six carrier battle groups into the Indian Ocean

I don't know that we could do that if we wanted to. We've only got 12, normally that means we can deploy 4. In a pinch 6 is possible, but it would leave other areas, such as Korea and the Taiwan Strait, completely uncovered, not to mention the eastern Med.

Why would we need six carrier groups to obliterate Iran? I should think two would suffice.

For a second, I thought you included " Eastern Md."
I yelled out "It's about time !!"....woke the yorkie up.
